Summer in a glass (well, coupe)! It's got a luscious, almost neon orange color--the very shade of Bain de Soleil's sunning gellee. Pallini by far is a favorite limoncello, got a softness to it. Aperol vs. Campari in a Negroni? Aperol is less aggressive. (PS, make it with Hendrix too...) Angostura bitters are lovely, flowery, pink... Altogether a yummy cocktail! It's light and not too boozy, but for drinking it under the sun, turn it into a highball with ice and selzer.

Just ro reconfirm: one half ounce of angostura bitters?
OMG. However did I miss this? The Dreamsicle was my favorite frozen treat as a kid. I'd been making cocktail versions, the simplest being a screwdriver with added Licor 43 (vanilla) and cream... But whirling this up--fluffed with the texture of xanthan gum--creates perfection. Thanks!
That's a no from me. dawg... Flavor's okay, though pretty orangey (enough that I could find several other options). Kinda thin... But the color! A purply-blue over ice turns a hideous green-gray when cream is added. Any other colored addition (whether translucent/transparent) also yields a weirdly muddy, unappetizing shade. Nope, nope, nope! The rest of the bottle will have to be used on macabre Halloween concoctions.
Perfect for the end of June!
Lovely, subbed in Courvoisier. Accompany with the magnificent Lullaby of Leaves (Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa-or by Ella, or Connie Evingson), Autumn Leaves, See You in September...
Lovely (I did sub in Courvoisier). To be accompanied by wistful tunes such as Autumn Leaves and See You in September...
While I'll have to experiment with making my own over here in the US, I heartily support the occasional addition of salt to cocktails, desserts, etc., for enhancing flavors. Just as in the fairy tales (Cap O' Rushes for one), a pinch of salt can make all the difference.
A far more interesting list--and more interesting drinks!--than most of the selections on the American lists. Thanks!
Okay so:
1. Any advantage to heating the milk? Otherwise, it takes extra time for cooling...
2. Any reason to reserve the drained curds--another possible use?
Whoa! Sounds amazing. Considering for a substitute for the Creme de Mure; Cherry Heering is likely too bright...
The Gibson was featured in The Queen's Gambit TV series: Beth Harmon's (Anya Taylor-Joy) mom said the onion made it more ladylike than a martni!
To my taste, this is not balanced, and the ginger is lost in the citrus. I increased the ginger from 2 slices to 4, reduced the lemon juice by 1/4 oz and increased the OJ by 1/4 oz, and liked it much better.
Nice name for this cocktail, btw--the play on "angel's share"...

I followed Rick's variation, but--having no gingerroot at hand--used a "shot" (1.5 oz) of Q's Ginger Beer, which has got a bite. We like it! An unexpected combo of flavors.
It's really nice and nutty; almost needs a little something else to give it more dimension though...
Yummy! I'll get you, my pretties!
Hendricks gin and Fever Tree cucumber tonic is astonishingly refreshing in warm weather. Also their Midummer version, with elderflower tonic, for a super-floral version.
Well, I reduced the lemon by 2/3rds and subbed in Hendricks gin--lovely! But it's quite grey, not aquamarine, lol. I'd say Labradorite. Maybe due to the Rothman & Winter creme de violette? The drink is pretty darn floral, lol...but I like that.
